I started with recipe #24617, and then adapted to what I have/use at home. I consider this more healthy for *my* family, but we're weird with raw milk and cultured butter, no sugar, etc. Also, I needed more oats for both texture and specific nutritional requirements :)

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Use a muffin pan with a nonstick coating. This will help the muffins come out of the pan easily.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The toothpick should not have any batter on it.
